Football Thread

Well in the NBA, there are many non US teams such as the Toronto Raptors. In major league baseball, there are many non US teams such as the Toronto Blue Jays. In hockey, there are many non US teams such as the Montreal Canadians and the Quebec Nordiques. And in the NFL, there was a regular season game played in England this season. So that's why they are considered the world champions here in the US.

Ummm I'm not from Dallas you idiot. So of course I'm rooting for the Giants.:fucku:

ha, i was speaking in plural as in more than just you, smart guy:i

Well they can speak for themselves Mr. cowboy lol.

lol we'll see than, i can respect the fact you supporting your home team, its just all these other cats callin' them "cowgirls", i mean come on, really? "cowgirls" is the best shit talk they can come up with..:clap:

I think the term 'America's Team' should be changed to 'American Redneck's team'

funny they haven't played like 'America's Team' in long time, so thats where the the hate stems from? anyways they should change it to "mexico's team" i been to a few games and their is majority of my people there rather than white dudes

When a team wins the football (or soccer to you!) Premiership in the UK, we call them the Premiership Champions, and they then play games against European opposition the next year (along with a few other teams that finished oin the top places in the Premiership) that have done very well in their respective countries leagues, and the winner is called the European Champion. And that all makes sense.

Calling yourself world champion without playing anyone from another country just seems rather daft, and really doesn't help America's rather dodgy image worldwide.

Not having a go, just never heard an American's take on it.

I think that the titles have a lot to do with the orgins of the sports themselves. Nowhere else in the world that I know of has pro football leagues. There is players from around the world in football but they come here to play. Same for baseball & the NBA. They may not be played on a world scale but the best players in the world come here to play. Plus all these leagues have around 30 teams in 'em. I know you probably got alot more soccer teams in Europe than that. We'd have to figure something else out if there were 80 football teams playing for the superbowl. But right now you win and you're "champions of the world".

c'mon man, rednecks?? you ever notice dude wearin a cowboys jacket in the video for "Gin & Juice"? I'm sure there's alot of rednecks who love 'em but there's alot of non-redneck fans as well. Colts have to be the most whitebread team in the league. just look at their fans at games to see that

lol NFL Europe kicks ass.

if it was 1994 i would be a cowboy hater. its not. so im a patroits hater

I used to not like them but I respect them so much for what they've done
